About this book

Visits to many workshops and factories in England and on the Continent gave Charles Babbage the material for this 1832 book. He says it grew out of his work on the calculating engine, and parts of it first appeared in the Encyclopaedia Metropolitana. He sets out general principles that govern machinery and manufacture, including the division of labour, without claiming to cover every mechanical principle or every question of political economy.
